61 ConclusionsDesign for Earthquake requires different way of thinking: verification of behaviour rather than verification of strengthThe behaviour of a structure under seismic loading is mainly determined by:Regularity – avoid extreme straining/ loading of certain membersRedundancy – enable reserves of safteyDuctility – plastic deformations without premature failureDissipation – from formation of cyclic plastic hysteresesQuality and Control of Execution – too much of strength may be dangerousDie Dissipationsfähigkeit einzelner Elemente ergibt das Dissipative Behaviour eines Bauwerks.
